Food was outstanding. Service was equally amazing. One veg and one meat eater and we still managed to do some sharing and the honey pie. O. M. G. Everybody needs to have this. Right now. Get the pie. Reasonable prices for higher end tapas and nice drink selection.

Small portions and not very filling . Service wasn't bad but I didn't think it was worth what my husband paid for both of us and I don't get all the hype and why it's so crowded , lol . A lot of trendy people I guess want to come to RIver North and eat here , but I would not recommend it . We could have grilled twice as many chicken Kebobs in our own grill at home and splitting one just didn't cut it . The bread with the hummus wasn't bad , but again , small portions and felt like a kids meal

The food was really good but the service was terrible. I usually give the waitress the benefit of the doubt but when she is very attentive to the tables around you and barely comes to your table you know it's not that she is just having a bad night. Not to mention we were the second to last table to leave because she forgot to take our check.
